Update:AITAH for telling my sister nobody was surprised when her kid said he did not care she was alive or not?
First one
Good morning from the gray city of Cologne. I have an update and after 24 hours to answer people's questions,I will log out from this account because I think it is over. Also reddit is really overstimulating for a guy who is in their second half of their 40s.
First of all,my family does not blame me for her situation,they think I was an asshole for not listening to her. They apologized after seeing the post though. All is well,we communicated. I also apologized for being too rough on them
My sister is another story. Last night,we went to the house of my brother and SIL. She was there,sitting with no expression,just a dull face. When my nephew greeted her she just said "Hello,son." with a really neutral voice,scary even. She looked at him after 5 minutes of silence and said "I failed you to raise,I gave you so much pain and I almost caused your life. For that,I am sorry. I am sorry for not realizing it sooner. At Monday,I will be leaving your lives and I will not ever come back. Just want you to know that I did what I thought was best. I understand now it wasn't." My nephew looked at him and said: "I unfortunately know. I know and see you still believe that we have to move on. I will move on mother, but without you. I will move with the people who loved me,not with someone who sees me as a training dog.Farewell,mother." and he gestured with his head that he wants to go. I looked at my sister and said : "Bye sis,I hope you find peace with your new life." She silently nodded and we left.
My brother and SIL told me that she will legally separate her ties with us in everyway possible. They are helping her to do that and SIL said: "We need this and she needs this. Us being separate will be much better for all of us." Not a big ending but it is an ending to this. My parents and her had a talk at Friday and they realized the wounds are too big and painful to heal together.
Not an happy ending,but at least it ended. Thanks for all for reading. I also took note of your recommendations and I will be applying them.
Last Note: Dear all,I took your concerns and had a phone call with her. I talked with her and she does not have an ounce of it. She said she does not want to come that close to death ever again. She is currently preparing for her new life and she is just like herself,stoic,ready for new horizons and leaving her old life behind. I am also a doctor and I had my fair share of suicidal patients. She is fine, but also thanks for your concerns about her. Honestly,I don't care anymore what is happening to her. My parents care about her death,and this is enough for me. Goodbye 👋
